Month: March 2016

What a great weekend of wrestling for our club! The youth team earned 6th place at Regions to advance to the NYWA State Tournament. The kids were able to knock off 2 teams they had lost to earlier in the year in Caledonia and Chatfield. They also earned a victory over Owatonna while falling to GMLOK, Dover-Eyota, and Cannon Falls. Great effort and sportsmanship was shown by each wrestler. The coaches couldn’t be more proud of this group!

21 wrestlers competed at NYWA Regions with 8 advancing to the State Tournament by placing in the top 3. Earning a trip were Owen and Cain Lexvold, Sam Moore, Gunner Mancilman, Jack Krier, Gabe Tupper, Andrew Banitt, and Nathan Haltom. Congratulations to all!
